Re: 2 Speed and Mecanum 'Trane

Don't think its ever been done.

Only way you could do it very well would be with dewalts i think. You need an individual gearbox for each wheel which eliminates most shifters.

What would be the benefits of a shifting design on mecanums? Not like your going to get a tremendous amount of pushing power out of them anyways. High or low gear.
